Nikon 18-135mm vs Sigma 18-125mm

[rawfa]

Hi Guys,

I've been using a sigma 18-125mm for some time and I have to say I'm not too happy with it. It has a serious sharpness problem, specially around the edges. I've read some good things about the Nikon 18-135mm and it's within the amount of money I'm aiming to spend. What's you guys opinions?

Anyone?

Yeah, I have the Nikon 18-135, and I absolutely love it. I use it for all my outdoor photography. However, because it's only a 3.5, I stick to my primes for interiors, or for really great bokeh.

Check out the Nikon thread to see a ton of photos i've taken with my 18-135, it will say underneath the photos. Take it easy!

Thanks, Andrew. I'm going to take a look at your pictures.

Here is a recent one from a photoshoot, just as an example.

Andrew, I browsed Nikon thread and looked for the pictures you took with the 18-135mm and I'm convienced it can do better than the sigma 18-125mm. I'm selling it and getting the nikon. Thanks, man.
